We had so much fun for Rock Your School that we had to make another post!
Mountain Park was rocking today! Our building was transformed into a school of rock and exciting learning.
It's National Custodian Day and we couldn't let this day pass without expressing our gratitude for our two favorite custodians. We are so thankful for Ms. Rhonda and Mr. Andrew.
It's time for our Change War! From now until the end of the month we are collecting change. The class that raises the most money will win an ice cream party!
Mrs Arrington and Mrs Pierce’s class learned about how solids and liquids can make a gas. They used ice cream and grape soda to make purple fizzy cows.
Out of an abundance of caution, Surry County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. This delay will help with visibility for bus drivers and allow additional time for families to safely commute to school campuses. Students who ride the bus should plan to arrive at their bus stop two hours later than they normally would. Thank you, have a good evening, and be safe tomorrow!

Please look for a flyer that came home with your child to see the activities for the week. This week only, students who ride bus 36 will get home roughly 20 minutes earlier due to a schedule change. Tuesday is Constitution Day. Every classroom will be learning about the significance of the Constitution on Tuesday. There is no school on Friday, September 20th as it is a required staff development day. Looking ahead, our teachers are planning a fun day of learning on Friday, September 27th as we celebrate “Rock Your School Day!” We appreciate your support always.
